CueCast Prompter vs Prompt+

CueCast Prompter is cross-platform teleprompting software with smooth scrolling, rich-text scripts and an advanced timer system. Its editor supports bold, italic, underline, colours, highlights, baseline and alignment formatting, plus emoji. It imports Word, PowerPoint and OpenOffice documents and exports scripts to PDF. The free plan includes basic prompting, script editing, script-based triggers and full-screen prompting on a local display. Pro adds a basic 100-minute timer and an advanced timer with countdown, count-up, time-based countdowns, coloured tags and labels. Pro also supports NewTek NDI and output to Blackmagic Design devices using SDI/SMPTE2110. SlideSync can synchronise stories with slides in PowerPoint, ProPresenter and XPression. Other Pro features include IP-based remote control and unlimited remote extenders. The Pro trial lasts 30 days; afterward, use is limited to basic prompting and script editing unless a Pro licence is purchased. That licence is perpetual, with no subscription fees, but a new licence is needed to upgrade. Current downloads require Windows 10 or newer on Intel/AMD PCs, Windows 11 on ARM PCs, or macOS 12 Monterey or newer; Linux downloads are also offered.

Prompt+ scrolls a script on screen for presentations, teaching, and sermons. Users can change scrolling speed, pause, or reverse direction, as well as adjust font size and text or background colours and highlight words. Scripts can be imported from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and iCloud, or from TXT, RTF, PDF, and Google Docs; DOCX import is available on iOS but not macOS. Prompt+ works alongside Zoom on iPad and Mac, while the iPhone version cannot be used with Zoom. On Mac, it can also be used with Teams, Facebook Live, and other live-streaming platforms. Control options include Bluetooth presentation remotes, foot pedals, wireless keyboards, game controllers, or another Mac or iOS device. It can mirror text for a physical teleprompter and show a countdown and clock. Signing in enables cloud access across devices; without login, scripts remain on the device and are not shared across devices. The free plan limits scripts to 750 characters. Premium Teleprompter removes that limit for a one-time 19.99 USD in-app purchase.
